WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

Many people in the community
seem to devote their time to consid-
ering what reforms in government
matters ought to be made, to the
exclusion of all thought of what has
been accomplished in the way OF
putting public business on a busi-
ness basis. We wish to call the at
tention of such to what the men now
in power have been doing.
In the first place they have called
a halt in huge loan swindle, as
has been shown in these columns.
Exactly how much they will be able
to save to the public in this matter
it is hard to say, as the whole loan
business is in a tangle which it will
be very hard to straighten out. But
authoritative information received
since our last issue gives the assur-
ance that every effort is being made
to rectify the matter.
Then the naval nonsense has re-
ceived check at their hands. The
Kaimiloa has been ordered back,
and negotiations for the purchase OF
O. 400 ton man-of-war have been
broken off. When the expense OF
running such vessel is taken into
account it will be seen that it was
a. considerable item in the tax,
PAYERS unpleasant prospect when
the present cabinet took office. The
purchase price Of the Kaimiloa is in
the nature of split milk, and we
have no disposition to cry about it.
But the continual expense OF rum
ming her can be decreased if not OBJ
waited. This is one thing which the
Government is attending to.
The disgraceful and expensive OK
petition to Samoa has been recalled,
much to the peoples advantage.
The civil service is undergoing
reform in the interest of efficiency
and economy. 1t is understood
that the law against one persons
drawing number of large salaries
is to be enforced, to the advantage
of the public and the disadvantage
of at least one much honored officer
And the military service is recelv
ing attention. 1t is thought that
considerable saving can be made Il
this department. even before an,
help can be had from the Legislature
Yet all of this is the work OF III
tie more than three weeks under tn
disadvantage of many bad laws

DETAILS OF THE CALAMITY.

NOTHING LEFT OF THE CARS SAVE SOME TWISTED
IRONs--A PARTIAL LIST OF KILLED AND HURT
CONCORD n. H. Feb 5.-The express train thai t
left Boston for Montreal at o'clock last night met
with terrible accident near Woodstock on the
Central Vermont Railroad. at about 2:3O n. III. to-
day. The train started from this city on time, but
was detained at White River Junction, so that 1t
was about an hour and half late when 1t left
there. ltconsisted Of locomotive, baggage car,
mall car, Two passenger coaches and two sleeping
cars and was running at the usual rate of speed.
About 200 yards south of the end of the deck
bridge, near the old Windsor Station. n
broken rail was struck. The locomotive, bag
gage car and postal car broke away from
the rest Of the train passing over the bridge IN
safety The other cars were thrown from the rails
and continued on the roadbed until they came near
the end of the bridge. but there ran over the abut-
ment and all fell into the White River. some fifty
feet below. The gorge mt this point Is narrow
prcciptous chasm, aud when the cars went down
there terrible crash. AS possible the
engine stopped and run back to the scene Of
the disaster. The screams of the injured were
hcartrending.
From the way the rails are twisted and the order
IN which the cars lay on the ice. that Is, IN the
same order they were on the track the rational
conclusion would be that the rear sleeper left the
track nrst, ABOUT lOrty rOuS sOutn Oh tnc Driusc,
ran the bridge forty feet and then in fall
ing. pulled other after it, until the coupling
between the baggage car and first passenger ear
gave way. The Woodstock Bridge IL some three
and half miles from the village of Whlte
Biyer Junction. The extreme low temperature
was probably the cause of the breaking Of the rail.
Between IL o'clock last night aud 2 a IN. to-day
tn mercury fell 33o that is from 20 below zero TO
So The number of persons lost will probably not
exceed forty. he engineer, iirem IN, bagsaseman
aud one brakeman were saved. All the other 'raIn
officials persisted.
Mrs Wclch. of Greenfield, extricating herself
started up the river in her night dress. She FELL
was placed upon mattress aud leit IL was ia'er
discovered that this mattress was on fire and she
was badly burned before she attracted attention
by her screams. One man having on nothing but
drawers aud shirt froze his feet and legs above his
ankles in attempting 10 save his brother one
boy was seen to leave the train and run down the
track He has not heen found

HALIFAX, Feb 5.-The most remarkable political gath
ering held in Canada the Joint meeting OF L6er

time Thousands of persons were unable 10 get anywhere
near tho entrance. The speakers were Sir Charles Tup
per and A. g. Jones The former spoke first but made no
mention Of repeal agitation Mr. Jones replied, closing
his remarks by expressing the determination OF the Lib
erals to press the repeal movement to the bitter end At
the close OF Mr. Joncss speech Sir Charles Tupper was to
be allowed half hour. Mr.. Jones TO close the
meeting. When MIR. Jones had concluded however n
tremendous uproar occurred The immense crowd outside
forced its way in and ammed those inside up against and
top Of the platform. The people swayod backward
and forward the furniture was crushed into kindling
wood and the indescbsbe shook the very ground
Sir Charles Tupper stood 10 speak but the chairman
appealed In vain for order The uprOar lasted half
hour and the meeting broke up In the most complete
confusion. The excitement ran tremendously high and 1t
